The Small Dining-Room of the Winter Palace was designed by the architect Alexander Krasovsky in 1895. The silver-greyish interior is decorated in the rococo style typical of the Historicism period in architecture. This room, modelled on 18th-century interiors, contains original objects from that period, including a British chandelier with a musical mechanism, a French clock and Russian glassware. The walls are hung with tapestries in frames decorated with rococo motifs. The tapestries were woven at the St Petersburg Tapestry Factory in the 18th century. Three of them are from the series The Parts of the World and show allegorical representations of Asia, Africa and America. This dining-room is part of the suite of private rooms of Nicholas II (the last Russian emperor) and his family.
